the President thereon Mr. C0ugar la3
said he thought that the report Of the com
mittee was a complete answer 20 the Pres
dents hyperDohc criticism on the meas
ure. Mr. Warner (Mo) said the country
should blush to see one Of the least oil It's
defenders the inmate Of a county
pOor-house This bill would take many
Of them out of the poor-houses,
Mr.. O'Hara IN. c., in fayoring the bill
said that the colored men did not 20 TO the

dollars and cents When the Fifty-fourth
and Fifty-iifth Massachusetts, composed
exclusively of colored men, went out lhey
were offered less than other regiments, be-
cause they were black They spurned the
money and said: mo; we are in the cause

ever been sent to a President for his sig

without regard to party, had every
reason to be thankful that this bill had
been presented to an Executive who had
backbone enough to meet the situation In
few years the soldiers OF the country
not the would have arrived atan
age when they could come to Congress and
demand as right--not ask as a charity
that provision be made for them Let not
congress bankrupt the treasury before
